So one day after Brandon started secondary school it was time for Joshua to return as a Year 8. So now we have both boys in secondary school and thankfully both going to the same school. So far they have both settled in very well despite the school environment / landscape now being very different to what they have previously experienced due to the Covid-19 restrictions. They have designated bubble areas, one way systems around the school stairs and corridors, hand sanitizer stations everywhere, PE in their school uniform and so on. The school are taking the new arrangement very seriously and and breach is immediately receiving a C4 punishment.
The boys don't travel to school together as Joshua still cycles with his mates and Brandon walks with his. However I didn't realise how much I missed the synergies of having the two of them in the same school since they split with one being in Juniors and one in Seniors last year. For examples at the dinner table they often talk about their classrooms, teachers, subjects etc and this common element of the same school was lost on them both last year. We tend not to get this with Holly as she is several years younger, but because the boys are only one school year apart it seems like there are much more synergies with their schooling lives.
